[goss]

Tomorrow's the last day of September, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in September, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Upcoming Art Challenge

Are you planning on taking part in some version of (?)'tober next month? :)

We'll be doing Drawtober: drawesome's own compilation of daily prompts suggested by our community members:



Our challenge is very chill. You can create drawings daily, weekly or randomly. Feel free to combine prompts. Use ink or whatever drawing material makes you happy. The main thing is to be inspired, and to get drawing! :D

I am so run down by stress, and most of my creative energy has been going to setting up some tabletop games I'm going to run ahah. I did one (1) spitpaint-prompted speedpaint and a sketch of an npc in a game I'm playing in and I've been noodling around with weird creatures in my sketchbook that I haven't really scanned.

Belatedly realizing I maybe should've posted about Lightbox Expo here, because I got a ticket to the online version of that, but a lot of the videos that came out of it are around on youtube if you search for Lightbox Expo fwiw. A lot are more about getting into the animation/comics/games industries which is not necessarily relevant to everyone here, but some things are just general art talks. One that was fun was Loish and Iris Compiet talking about their art journeys.

Anyway, I'm definitely not going to be able to do a daily October challenge, but I'd like to at least do a couple pieces for prompt stuff. I've been having some fun with a particular ink pen in my sketchbook that is terrible for basically all media that I'm trying to finish (~4 more spreads and I'm done!), so it might even be in ink, hah.
